  • Hello Flapjack and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your sister and I can understand that it can make you more aware of your own health.

    Everyone however is very different so try not to over think it for now. If you are still having thrush and the yellow medicine, Nystatin, does not appear to be working then do go back and discuss this with your GP.

    I am sure that if the GP was concerned about the lumps in the back of your throat then they would have considered ordering some different tests to help find out the cause.

    Don't be afraid to ask your GP any questions.

    It can sometimes help to make a list of different questions that you have.

    The Patients Association have written some information about how to make the most out of your GP appointment.

    Try to drink enough water (2-3 litres) to help clear the thrush infection.

    All the best,

    Catherine
